Disappointment for the French artist, who doesn’t take well the low score of the televoting and replies with the middle finger while she’s being framed.
Eurovision 2023 proves to be a disappointment for France, but the event won by Loreen for Sweden ended even worse than the result had already said. He was in the race for the transalpines The Zarraartist who brought the song “Evidemment“, a piece that seemed to promise excellent results on the eve of the event, both for the effectiveness of the piece and for the stage presence of the artist, who does not seem to lack in terms of personality.
The gesture of the singer after the televoting
Personality that seems to have gotten out of hand when the announcement of the “suns” 50 points awarded by televoting to France, he replied by addressing a middle finger to the camera while it was framed. A gesture which, obviously, was not liked in France, where the comments in these first few minutes were not conciliatory towards her, but which probably will not please the public in other countries either, the true recipient of La Zarra’s gesture. In fact, as per the regulation, Eurovision provides that televoting allows you to vote for all the artists of the one representing your country. In fact, La Zarra was not appreciated abroad and the artist didn’t take the result sportily. In confirmation of her deranged reaction, journalists present on the spot affirm that La Zarra left the Green Room, or the area from where artists and delegations attend the show, before the end of the evening.
France at Eurovision, the disappointments in recent years
France’s Eurovision 2023 thus ends on the right side of the standings, at 104 points, behind Austria and just before Spain, another disappointment of the evening. I am five victories for France in the history of Eurovisionbut the last one is really too far away, considering that you need to go back to 1977 to see the transalpines establish themselves by placing themselves in first place for the last time in the event. On that occasion, it was Marie Myriam who prevailed with the song L’oiseau et l’enfant. Since then only disappointments, with two second places in 1990 and 1991 and that of Barbara Pravi in 2021, behind the Maneskin.
